Sweetspot Golf — Your Personal Golf Coach Golf practice, made simple: for consistent golf, a better handicap and more fun. Good shots on the range but no consistency on the course? Too many thoughts during your swing? Not enough distance off the tee? Sweetspot Golf brings structure to your practice and helps you improve step by step. YOUR TRAINING BUDDY — YOUR DIGITAL COACH Enter your current and your target handicap. The Buddy compares your game against insights from over 14,000 amateur rounds and shows you where you lose the most strokes – and what to train next. Data-driven, personal, no guesswork. YOUR TRAINING PLAN — YOUR TIME, YOUR PROGRESS Tell us which days and how long you want to practise – the app spends your time on the areas where the most strokes are waiting for you. The home screen shows your goal as a golf hole: tee shots, long game, short game and putting, each with the strokes you can still gain there. The Coaching tab holds your weekly plan, the training calendar and three guided video trainings by PGA pro Fabian Bünker: Speed Stick, Putting and Short Game. THE TRAININGS • Rhythm Trainer: pick a pattern and a tempo – optionally Fabian's voice counts the beat, even with the screen locked. On Apple Watch you feel the rhythm on your wrist. • Launch Monitor: connect your Garmin R10 (Bluetooth) or PiTrac (Wi-Fi). The training strips the data down to the one or two metrics that matter per club – with targets for your handicap and instant feedback. • Golf Wheel of Fortune: the wheel spins up random distance tasks for putting and short game – every session different. No more hitting 50 identical shots – rate results straight from your Apple Watch. • Ball Sequence: every ball has to carry longer or shorter than the previous one. How long can you make your perfect streak? • Speed Training: systematic overspeed workouts with your launch monitor for more distance off the tee. • Swing Mirror: one device films, the other is your mirror – watch yourself swing live, no Wi-Fi network or internet needed. The session saves to your Photo Library. • Success Journal: check in before a session or round, set your focus, reflect afterwards. Your mental caddie. YOUR PROGRESS The Training Handicap shows your practice effort on the familiar scale from 54 towards 0 – with a weekly goal and trend, independent of your official handicap. The handicap trend of the last 12 months shows how close you are to your goal. And whether Garmin, FlightScope, Rapsodo, Uneekor or GSPro: import your launch monitor's session exports and every shot joins one history. THE CLUBHOUSE Leaderboards, 32 awards, duels and community. Compete on your longest Ball Sequence streak, challenge friends to 1v1 Golf Wheel of Fortune duels, or – with Sign in with Apple – create private groups with their own leaderboards. Privacy first: you only appear on leaderboards if you explicitly turn it on. Signing in is optional, and you can delete your account anytime in the app. PASSES Try 10 days for free. Then Birdie Pass (all trainings and training plans) or Eagle Pass (everything incl. the video trainings), monthly or yearly.

looplab is a golf tracking app for players who want to understand their game — not just log it. Track every round, watch your Handicap Index move, and walk away with a scorecard worth sharing. EVERY ROUND, IN DETAIL Enter your score hole by hole, with putts, fairways hit, greens in regulation, tee-shot direction and drive distance. Stroke Play or Stableford — pickups included, scored the WHS way. YOUR HANDICAP, ALWAYS CURRENT Score Differentials are calculated automatically from Course Rating, Slope and Stroke Index. Your Handicap Index updates after every round using the best 8 of your last 20. SCORECARDS WORTH SHARING Every round becomes a complete scorecard — hole by hole, gross, net, Stableford points and Score Differential. Export it as an image and send it straight to your group. STATS THAT ACTUALLY HELP Scoring, putting, driving and approach play — trended across your last 5, 10 or 20 rounds, or the whole year. See exactly where your tee shots miss, and measure yourself against scratch, single-digit and mid-handicap benchmarks. PLAY WITH FRIENDS Group Rounds handle twelve formats — the ones you actually play: Stroke Play, Stableford, Stableford Aggregate, Best Ball, Foursomes, Texas Scramble, 2-Player Scramble, Match Play, Skins, 4-2-0, Bingo Bango Bongo and Wolf. Handicap strokes are allocated automatically, standings update live, and everyone gets a shared scorecard at the end. Track your group's own penalties too — whatever you're playing for. YOUR COURSE, YOUR DATA looplab ships with a small, growing catalog of pre-configured courses — yours may not be in it yet. Adding it is built to be quick: with the scorecard in front of you, a full course with par, stroke index and distances for every hole takes about two minutes, multiple tees included. Once it's in, it's yours for every round after — and you can submit it so other players get it too. MORE TO EXPLORE Personal bests, a year in review, a yardage book for your club distances, and round-by-round comparison. BUILT FOR THE COURSE Large tap targets, readable at arm's length, usable one-handed while you walk. Six themes, four app icons, fully localized in English and German. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS No account. No sign-up. No tracking. No ads. Everything lives on your device — that's it. Better, loop by loop.
